Deck Board Repair Somers, WI

Deck repair for Somers homes

Somers has a village and town of rural lots, farmsteads and newer subdivisions, and that shapes how we approach deck repair here. In practice that means long fence runs on rural and acreage lots.

Somers sits on the Pike River and Lake Michigan, and waterfront wood weathers faster on the water-facing side than the house side. We check both and often give the exposed side a second coat.

Staining over a rotted board is a waste of stain. It also hides the problem for a year until someone puts a foot through it. Replacing a handful of boards before staining is cheap, and new cedar or treated boards blend in well once everything is stained the same tone. We also re-drive popped nails and swap them for screws so they stop lifting.

How the job goes in Somers

1. InspectWe probe the boards, check fasteners, stairs and railing posts, and mark what needs replacing.
2. Replace boardsDamaged boards are removed and replaced with matching cedar or pressure-treated lumber, screwed into the joists.
3. Re-fastenPopped nails are pulled and replaced with deck screws. Loose spindles and rail caps get tightened or re-secured.
4. BlendNew boards are lightly sanded and, if we are staining, cleaned with the rest so the stain takes evenly.
